Preliminary examination of the planned company name

The local Chamber of Industry and Commerce will provide you with instructions on the relevant website (in Berlin: www.ihk-berlin.de), which you can use to carry out a preliminary check of the planned company name and the purpose of the company yourself. We recommend using this service.

The client hereby instructs the notary to prepare the drafts for the formation of a GmbH in his own name. The client is aware that costs are already associated with the preparation of the draft, in particular in the event that the notarisation order is subsequently withdrawn.

Please bring either a valid identity card or a valid passport to the notarisation.
